Person Man Term Arm Wife Boy Toy Attractive

A "boy toy" is a young, attractive man whom an older, "wealthier" (with more money) woman dates for fun or for a short period of time, without being very serious about the relationship. There is no direct "equivalent" (something that is exactly the same for some other person or situation) for women and the term "girl toy" is not used for women. However, people often use the term "gold digger" for a person who tries to be in a relationship with or marries another person for money. This term can be used for a man or a woman. Another term, "arm candy," is sometimes used to refer to an attractive person who goes with someone to a public event, mainly so that this person can "show off" (display for other people to see) and gain "status" (how other people think of you socially or professionally) by being with a beautiful or handsome person. Sometimes, the "arm candy" is not romantically involved with that person and sometimes they are. If you see a famous singer or movie star with a lot of "models" (people who are paid to wear clothes and other things for display or for photographs) with them, these models may be arm candy. If a man "divorces" (legally ends his marriage with) his wife and marries one of these models, he may have wanted a "trophy wife." A "trophy" is an object, often made of metal or stone, that is used as a prize for winning a contest or for rewarding success. A trophy wife or a trophy husband, then, is a wife or husband who is a "symbol," or something to show other people, of your success or status. All of these terms - "boy toy," "gold digger," "arm candy," and "trophy wife" - are "derogatory" or insulting. By using one of these, you are saying that the relationship is not based on caring or love, but instead, based on one's "looks" (appearance) or money.
